All eukaryotic organisms that are not classified as plants,animals or fungi

Question 15

Pseudopodia

Answer 15

cytoplasmic extensions that form false feet

Question 16

What types of protists use pseudopodia?

Answer 16

Amoeba

Question 17

What is the role of pseudopodia?

Answer 17

Used by amoeba for locomotion and feeding.

Question 18

What are the 4 defining traits of amoeba’s?

Answer 18

Large nucleus, food vacuoles, outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm

Question 19

Contractile Vacuole

Answer 19

Clear, round body that rapidly forms and disappears in Amoeba and other freshwater protists. They pump out excess water gained by osmosis to maintain homeostasis.

Amoeba with calcareous tests perforated with tiny pores. Marine organism that makes up sea bed

Question 21

Radiolarians

Answer 21

Silica tests of many different species - marine organism -make up sea bed

Answer 24

colonial organism, large hollow ball of cells each with their own flagella, small daughter colonies inside the volvox colony

Question 25

Ciliate Group

Answer 25

Very diverse group that uses cilia for locomotion - tough outer pellicle, oral groove, vacuoles and anal pore

Question 26

Pellicle

Answer 26

Tough outer flexible test found in ciliate group

Question 27

How many types of nuclei do Ciliates have?

Answer 27

2

Question 28

What is the role of Ciliates' macronucleus?

Answer 28

metabolic processes

Question 29

What is the role of Ciliates' micronuclei?

Answer 29

Sexual Reproduction

Question 30

Paramecium (Name 5 traits)

Answer 30

Cilliate - cilia, pellicle, oral groove, contractile vacuoles and 2 types of nuclei

Question 31

Vorticella

Answer 31

Cilliate - attaches by a stalk to a piece of debris, cilia, pellicle, oral groove, contractile vacuoles

Question 32

Contractile stalk

Answer 32

In Vorticella - goblet-shaped organism attached to the substrate by this - Stalk can shorten and serve as an escape response

2 part cell walls of diatom group

Question 36

How do Diatoms move?

Answer 36

No flagella or cilia, planktonic or move with mucus secretions
